Most luxury cars make a statement about prestige and status; for example, if you see a BMW or Mercedes you instantly think about luxury, status and very high performance.
However, not everyone wants to be so obvious about enjoying the finer things in life.
For those people there is the modest Volvo S80.
In terms of looks the S80 is very simple and blends in with the crowd; it doesn't make a great statement and it isn't a showstopper.
Its performance is also on the modest side; it isn't exact a hot rod or a speed racer.
The design is classic and has remained the same for many years.
Let's take a look at the engine choices available for the S80.
The engine for the base model is a six cylinder 3.
2 Liter with 240 hp which can be upgraded to a 3.
0 Liter engine with 300 hp and 325 lb feet of torque.
Gas mileage for the 3.
2 engine stands at 19 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the freeway.
You can enjoy this auto in manual or automatic mode.
The interior is comfortable without being over the top.
Standout features include the plush seats, well designed layout and intuitive nature of the instrument gauges.
Trunk space is a bit on the small side at 14.
9 cubic feet.
Standard features include electronic climate control, power front seats, cruise control and illuminated vanity mirrors.
Volvo engineers have included tons of safety mechanisms such as anti-lock brakes, side positioning lights, head restraints for all passengers and a side impact protection system for all occupants.
The S80 was also awarded the distinction being named a "Top Safety Pick" but the IIHS.
As we all know, luxury cars are notoriously expensive to repair, but you won't have to worry about that with the S80.
New buyers receive a 4 year/60k mile warranty.
In addition service is also covered for up to thirty six thousand miles or the first three years.
This is a great perk since luxury cars are generally notoriously expensive in order to maintain.
If you're a bit on the modest side and don't want to announce your status and pedigree to the world then the S80 would make an excellent choice.
Some car fans might be turned off a bit by the lack of speed and power.
However, if you are looking for a commuter vehicle with European styling that isn't over the top then the S80 would make a great choice.
Pricing for the S80 is modest for its class, MSRP for the base model starts at around forty thousand dollars which is very competitive when compared to cars like the E-class from Mercedes or BMW.
